okay three's a charm! This is the third time I've tried commenting and my internet keeps giving out! I LOVE. LOVE. this post. You are a kindred spirit;)) Those pics are stunning, and from your phone?! Don't you just love the moody sky? I can almost hear and feel the wind, the crunch of the gravel as you rounded the bend, the smell of the sea.There's is something about light-houses, exactly what you said. Thank-you for sharing with in-lander/sea-lovers like me!

Mama grew up in Bath, Maine, (she was born on PEI). Not far from Bath is Popham Beach and there's a lighthouse there. When Mama died two years ago we needed to choose a headstone. Those polished marble, cold looking ones just weren't our Mama. We chose a plain boulder and had the Popham Beach lighthouse etched into it with the Bible verse, "You are my light and salvation". There is something special about lighthouses, isn't there?

What a fantastic photo my dear. I will ever forget my first trip to New England many years ago, when we moved to Massachusetts from Los Angeles! We went to Maine and took a photo next to a lighthouse; it was MAGIC. This one is just gorgeous!

There's an historical house in our town that I've never seen, even after 15 years! Most of the touristy stuff we save for when we have visitors. If I lived close to a lighthouse, I'd want to visit too.

It's so Nice to meet you!

So glad you stopped by....

Please join me as I travel on a journey as wife, mother, gardener,writer, photographer, gluten-free baker, decorator, teacher and dreamer.

{I dream of being a stay at home mom with time to write about and photograph nature across the seasons…time to bake and make amazing meals and create the perfect cozy nest…time to walk my daughter to the bus or run my son's homework to school…}

But for now I am utterly content teaching math and science, tending my flowers and vegetables, spending time with my family, and squeezing in the things that tug on my heartstrings EVERY chance I get. I am building the foundation for my future and plan on exuding joy and grace every step of the way!
